Thoughts on How To Lose Weight, and other News from Jes
March 30, 2005
As a wedding gift, Roger's parents gave us (among other items) tickets to the
Philippines, where Roger was born and raised. These tickets came with
instructions that they hoped to see us visit within three years.
A few nights ago, after much planning, we received confirmation that we will fly
out January 21 and not return until February 4, 2006. Roger and I would like our
schedule to look something like this:
Our first 5-6 days we plan to spend in Manila, discovering the city and touring
the sights. We'll also visit friends still living there, and Roger's school that
he attended (except when home on furlough) from Kindergarten through his senior
year. Our next 4 days will be in Baguio, the mountains where Roger and his
family vacationed each year while living in Manila. Our last 4 days will be
spent on the pristine beaches of the Philippine coast.
You must know that I love to plan. Especially plan trips, because I am
completely obsessed with the Internet and all the information available to me as
my fingers glide through the pages. I don�t know how this world ever survived
without the Internet. I cannot remember the days when I actually had to go
research library catalogs for information that I needed. Since we received the
ticket confirmation, my extra time has been spent on the Internet in this way:
1. Researching hotels in the Philippines
2. Researching beaches in the Philippines
3. Researching how to get my passport changed into my new last name
4. Planning to lose weight, but not doing anything about it. Just being
honest, folks.
I've taken care of the third item on the list, but the others are still a
work-in-progress.
I was sitting on the floor on Sunday morning, getting ready for church. As I
shut one of my dresser drawers, I realized that I had no clue what was in the
drawer above it. I thought to myself, "This is my drawer. How can I not know
what is in it?"
Curious what I might have put in this drawer, I opened it.
Excerise clothes sprung toward me.
Finding that drawer should help with number four.
